A member asked:

This week i've noticed purple tiny spots on my right hip they disappeared &today i found a new spot on the same hip too. they don't hurt and temporary?

Petechiae ?: These spots could simply be related to squeezing or direct pressure on a small part of your skin. However, petechia can be associated with a clotting problem that may be serious and/or related to a bigger problem with your immune system...
